Contributors in Electronic engineering

Electronic engineering

demultiplexer

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A circuit or device that separates the components of a multiplexed signal transmitted over a channel.

current sink

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A circuit or device through which a constant current can be maintained.

accentuator

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A circuit or device, such as a filter, tone control, or equalizer, used to emphasize a band of frequencies, usually in the audio-frequency spectrum. Also see accentuation.

coincidence counter

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A circuit or device, such as a gate, that delivers an output pulse only when two or more input pulses occur simultaneously; the output pulses go to a device that counts them.

arbitrary function fitter

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A circuit or device, such as a potentiometer, curve changer, or analog computer element, providing an output current or voltage that is some preselected function of the input current or voltage.

absorption circuit

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A circuit that absorbs energy from another circuit or from a signal source—especially a resonant circuit, such as a wavemeter or wavetrap.

alarm circuit

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A circuit that alerts personnel to a system malfunction, a detected condition, or an intruder.
